5. New York

Seniors who want to take a bite out of The Big Apple, beware. The average house will cost you upwards of $800,000. Still, we know this city will attract many seniors especially those looking for a mishmash of different cultures, or those who want to see as many Broadway shows as they can during retirement.

An alternative would be relocating outside of the metro area. You’d be spending more time and a little bit of money on train rides back and forth, but at least you won’t be breaking the bank. We think this is a decent compromise for those who are serious about maintaining their budget but still want to enjoy all that New York has to offer.
